Former UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo looks like he’s going forward with a long-teased plan to jump over to boxing. Having retired from MMA in 2022, the Brazilian now appears to have a date and an opponent to make his debut in the ring.
Per Combate’s report, Aldo will take on Argentinian Emmanuel Zambrano in just a couple of weeks, on February 10. The fight will take place under Shooto’s banner and at the 139-pound division.
Zambrano (0-3) has three losses on his professional boxing record, two by decision and one knockout. His last outing took place in November 2020, when he lost via TKO to Alexis Nahuel Torres.
